🤔 Why is BISP Using a Phased Payment System?
The phased payment system was introduced by BISP to prevent long queues and overcrowding at payment centers and banks. In the past, long wait times and disorganized queues caused frustration and delays in payments. With the biometric verification system and payment camps, the process is now much more efficient and transparent.The phased distribution ensures that no middlemen are involved, and that payments go directly to the eligible beneficiaries. This model also empowers women in underprivileged areas by giving them dignity and security in receiving their government support.
